The reason I searched and wanted to go here was because it was an art museum designed by Tadao Ando, ​​and I really wanted to see it. He designed the entire art museum with his unique exposed concrete.

I recently visited the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, a beautiful place near Nada Station that is truly astonishing! This building is considered a symbol of recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and since its opening in 2002, it has been attracting many visitors. The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art was designed by the famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, with a building area of about 28,000 square meters, making it one of the largest structures in the western region. Facing the sea, it is filled with the unique aspects of Ando's architectural style, and every corner is a perfect spot for photography. On the museum's rooftop, the work 'Kobe Frog' by Dutch artist Florentijn Hoffmann is displayed, becoming one of the symbols of the museum. In addition, the exhibition rooms house a collection of over 10,000 works of art from Japan and abroad, including works by artists related to Hyogo Prefecture. After visiting the museum, you can relax in the restaurant and café, enjoying delicious cuisine. Why not try the 'Kobe Deluxe Pork Cutlet' or the 'Tajima Beef Minced Meat Cutlet Lunch' at Restaurant Fortissimo, while admiring the sea view outside the window. In this place full of artistic atmosphere, you can enjoy good food, appreciate artworks, and have a pleasant time with friends and family. It is definitely a recommended travel destination!

[Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art] I visited the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. The most famous of these is the "Blue Apple" at the "Ando Gallery." This object was designed by the world-famous architect Tadao Ando as a "symbol of youth." The actual object was very large, about twice as tall as me. There were also many other interactive exhibits that were very enjoyable. Place: Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Address: 1-1-1 Wakihama Kaigandori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-0073 #museum #TadaoAndo

This time, I would like to introduce the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, a representative work of Tadao Ando architecture 👏🏻👏🏻 The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is a museum made of concrete walls and has an impressive large spiral staircase. Not only the exhibits, but also those who like to look at architecture are highly recommended 😊 It is also easily accessible from Sannomiya, so please visit it together with Nankinmachi and other places 👏🏻 It is highly recommended to visit a cool museum in the still hot autumn!

The Ando Gallery, newly opened in 2019, allows visitors to enjoy the worldview of Tadao Ando, ​​one of Japan's leading architects. The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is a museum visited by many architecture fans from Japan and abroad. #Kobe #Art #Architecture #TadaoAndo #Museum #TourismSupport

#WesternJapan #Kobe #HyogoPrefecturalMuseumofArt [HyogoPrefecturalMuseumofArt] I went to the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture! The architecture, a work by Ando Tadao, was amazing! There were green apples outside, which was lovely🍏 #WesternJapan

ROUND POINT CAFE Located within the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, this café features a long and narrow space that is simple and bright. It offers a full-length counter seating area by the window, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxing view of the harbor coastline—an incredibly comfortable experience. After visiting the museum, this café is highly recommended for a quick break. In addition to indoor seating, there is an outdoor terrace area. However, since there is no air conditioning outside, it’s not recommended on hot days. The overall atmosphere and the elegant tableware perfectly match the minimalist style of a museum café. I ordered an iced coffee, which was refreshingly chilled and invigorating.

#5月好去处2025 ✓Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art If you are a fan of Tadao Ando, ​​you must come here to pilgrimage. The irregular concrete building next to the harbor, the sunken spiral staircase corridor, and the big green apple that Internet celebrities love to take pictures of, in short, this place is quite good to take pictures. The building itself is one of Mr. Ando Tadao's designs. There is also Ando’s Gallery to introduce the creation process and the architectural models of private houses or public spaces designed in the past. It is very kind and all free! The bevels of each concrete surface of the museum seem to have been carefully calculated, and different atmospheres can be captured from each angle. No wonder the Tadao Ando special exhibition "Youth" held at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka encourages everyone to submit good photos! If you start from Kobe Sannomiya Station, you can take the Hanshin Electric Railway to Iwaya Station and walk for 10-15 minutes to arrive. Along the way, you can see a big frog from a distance, crawling on the roof of the museum, which is quite eye-catching.

#summervacay I recently visited the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, a fantastic cultural spot in Kobe! I took the subway two stops from Sannomiya to Iwaya Station, and to my surprise, Iwaya even has its own little theatre how interesting! From there, it's just a short walk to the museum. Upon arrival, if you head right around the building, facing the giant frog sculpture, you'll find what should be the North Entrance. Once inside, it's easy to get a little lost (in a good way!), as there are so many interesting paths to explore. Key Highlights: The Giant Apple Sculpture: Head to the outdoor area on the third floor, and you'll find a massive apple sculpture—it's truly impressive in size! Outdoor Sculptures: There's also another very large outdoor sculpture, which looked quite dramatic even on a rainy day during my visit. The museum's architecture itself is a sight to behold, offering a sprawling and engaging space to discover art. It's a wonderful place to spend a few hours, whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a unique experience in Kobe! #Kobe #HyogoPrefecturalMuseumOfArt #ArtMuseum #IwayaStation #JapanTravel #KobeArt #ModernArt #MuseumHopping #TravelJapan

#Osaka Shopping Guide It is known as the largest art museum in western Japan and a unique one in Hyogo. Part of the building was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, ​​which is really very photogenic. The entrance looks like a conch-shaped staircase from top to bottom. The bare concrete has a strong visual impact under light and shadow. You can visit the exhibition and the building here, and you can also visit the outdoor art works of the art museum. 🍏The fluorescent green apple is called youth, full of vitality, and it is also the spiritual power that pulled Kobe back up after the 7.3-magnitude Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. There is a permanent exhibition of Tadao Ando in the art museum, which is free to visit. Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Transportation: Take the JR line from Kobe Sannomiya to Nada Station, and walk for 10 minutes after getting off.

#cherryblossom25 I recommend this self-discovered route for an incredible cherry blossom experience: Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel → Kobe Oji Zoo → Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art 🌸 Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel It’s definitely worth a visit! 📍 Location: Grands States Rokko Sakura Street. You can take a bus to a nearby spot and then walk to the tunnel. The entire road is lined with cherry blossoms. Be careful when taking photos, as cars will pass through the tunnel. At first, I thought I was blocking someone’s way because a car stopped for a while at the top, and I tried to step aside, almost pressing against the wall. But then I noticed the driver was taking photos with an Olympus film camera. It turns out, nobody can resist a spring tunnel with half cherry blossoms and half the sea! 🌸🌊 🦁 Kobe Oji Zoo A hidden gem! There were hardly any visitors when I arrived around noon, only a few kindergarten teachers playing with their kids. I casually found a cherry blossom tree, set up my tripod, and slowly took photos. This zoo has many cherry trees that are fully bloomed and hang low, so you can freely take pictures without worrying about disturbing others. 🎨 Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando! I only visited the free regular exhibition, where you can learn about Ando’s design philosophy and background. If you’re into architecture or design, you absolutely cannot miss this! Don’t forget to head upstairs to capture some cool shots of the Green Apple sculpture. 🍏 #travel

#Osaka Itinerary In the morning, I visited the Nakanoshima Museum of Art. This museum, which opened in recent years, attracts countless art lovers with its unique black cube architecture. The museum houses a large collection of modern and contemporary art works, ranging from Osaka’s urban memories to the exploration of Japanese aesthetics, and each exhibit tells a unique story. I strolled through the exhibition hall, surrounded by the artistic atmosphere, and felt the creativity and cultural heritage of this city. In the afternoon, I took the train to the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art in Kobe. The museum building was designed by Tadao Ando. The simple concrete structure and the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea complement each other, showing an extremely harmonious beauty. The museum exhibits a wealth of modern art works, whether it is sculptures, paintings or installation art, each work is thought-provoking. I stood on the terrace, gazing at the sea and sky, feeling the beauty of the fusion of art and nature. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had become quiet and pure.

What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao… “What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao?” It's Qingdao, it's Dalian, it's Hong Kong, but it just can't be Kobe… For adults, not being a killjoy is basic courtesy. The meaning of travel has increasingly become a matter of personal taste and niche hobbies. 🇯🇵If you've done even simple research, you'll know that Kobe is a coastal city with Suma Beach🏝️, the million-dollar night view of Mount Rokko and Mount Maya🌃, Kobe beef, and Arima Onsen. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll discover that Kobe is an old industrial city where most shopkeepers don't speak English, and drugstores have "Help Wanted" signs seeking bilingual staff. You have to go up Mount Maya and Mount Rokko early and come down early, or you'll miss the last train and have to walk down a dark mountain path. At the port, you can even see remnants of 1990s corporations— like the city itself, old but respectable, allowing you to imagine the prosperity and boom here during the economic heyday. Just ticking off tourist spots will only leave you thinking, "Oh, that's it?" But if you stay overnight, you might just unveil Kobe's hidden curtain. It's the glowing sea at Maiko Marine Promenade🌊, the tourist boats waiting at the port🚢, the Suma sunset reflecting on your face🌇, the aroma of fried croquettes wafting from the station kiosk🍘, the slow arrival of the train🚈, crows scattering and shaking the overhead wires, and elderly Japanese men and women nodding to you on the downhill path👵. ♨️At night, slide open the wooden door, and the hot spring well cover in the courtyard steams, the medicinal waters washing away the day's fatigue. As you gaze out the window at the darkening streets, you've truly arrived in Kobe. There's no set itinerary for Kobe. If you only have one day, go to the beach if you like the sea, or stroll up the mountain if you like night views. 🌌"Speed is the form of ecstasy, and slowness is linked to memory" - Milan Kundera Tips:🌟From Osaka Station, take the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line (Special Rapid Service, Okayama/Himeji direction) for about 35-40 minutes directly to Suma Station. Suma Seaside Park: A 5-minute walk, offering sea views and beaches, ideal for photos. Sumadera Temple (15-minute walk) has cherry blossoms in spring. Recommended one-way route: From Suma Station, walk or cycle eastward along the coast, passing the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge observation point, gradually moving towards Nada Station. ⚠️Transfer: Suma Station → Nada Station JR Train: From Suma Station, take the JR Sanyo Line (Osaka direction) to Nada Station, about a 10-minute ride (Special Rapid Service), frequent departures. 🚇Return: Nada Station → Osaka Station Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art: About a 10-minute walk from Nada Station, an architectural marvel designed by Tadao Ando, with a highlight being the ocean-view terrace (Open: 10:00-18:00, closed Mondays). 🚃: Suica card can be used throughout. 🗺️Google Maps

Compared to the crowded Osaka and Kyoto, Kobe is a chill city, perfect for city walks, and is famous for Kobe beef! You will be reluctant to leave. 🔷🔷🔷My Kobe One-Day Tour Guide: 🚗Transportation: Take a bus from Osaka Kansai Airport to Kobe Sannomiya Station in one hour or take a ferry in half an hour. 🏨Accommodation: Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kobe Sannomiya Premier, a 7-8 minute walk from Kobe Sannomiya Station. 📅My Kobe One-Day Tour Itinerary: ⏰Morning - Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art (Take JR from Kobe Sannomiya Station to Nada Station) 🕐Afternoon - Ikuta Shrine - Kitano Ijinkan Street (10-minute walk between the two attractions) 💎Attraction Highlights: 📍Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art: A symbol of cultural restoration after the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The museum was designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando, and there is an exhibition of Tadao Ando's architectural works in the museum. The museum's treasure, the green apple sculpture "Youth," is on the roof and is a must-see photo spot! 📍Ikuta Shrine: I passed by it on my way to Kitano Ijinkan Street, and it was a pleasant surprise! It is famous for its effective prayers for marriage, and even the famous Japanese artist Norika Fujiwara held her wedding here! It was the only building that remained intact during the 1995 earthquake, so it is also known for resurrection and rebirth! 📍Kitano Ijinkan Street: One of Kobe's iconic attractions. It is home to embassies and consulates from various countries. The street is full of European-style buildings, and each exhibition hall displays various themed exhibits, which are very interesting! You can also try on Sherlock Holmes costumes at the British Pavilion! 📌Tips: 1️⃣The permanent exhibition at the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art costs JPY 600, and the Ando Gallery is free to visit! 2️⃣For lunch, you can eat at Crab Noodle, not far from Kitano Ijinkan Street. Its crab noodles have a rich creamy flavor and are very delicious, worth a second visit! 3️⃣There are three types of tickets for Kitano Ijinkan Street. It takes 3-4 hours to visit all eight exhibition halls, so be sure to allow enough time. It is recommended to choose a ticket to visit the British Pavilion, Yokan Nagaya, and Ben's House, plus the Inconceivable Pavilion, which is worth visiting!
